Child of my Enemy

~Chapter fourteen: And the Wolf howls~

~A/N: And here we go with fourteen! This is so cool…I know, I keep saying that, but it is! So, hope you enjoy this…let's see what happens to Soundwave and Silver, shall we?~

~Silverstar's POV~

The shuttle landed with a jarring thud and I clenched my teeth together, reaching for the lever to open the back door.

"Can you tell if there is anyone outside?" I asked, my fingers trembling as I closed my fist around the lever.

"Yes. Starscream and his triad…with Megatron…"

"This is not good. Well, better get it over with. Grab the pair of cuffs under the seats. You can tie my hands behind my back…at least Megatron won't kill you on spot." Soundwave nodded and grabbed the stasis cuffs, clasping my wrists behind my back. "Can you carry Bumblebee?" Again, Soundwave nodded. He opened the door and grabbed at my wrist, yanking me to my feet. He then turned and grabbed Bumblebee in his arms.

"Soundwave, glad you made it back. I see you have done as I asked. Starscream, lead my daughter to the cells. Soundwave, you may proceed to take the injured one to your med bay."

"Thank you, sir." He let go of my hand as Starscream took me away. I dared to steel a glance over my shoulder to see Soundwave make his way past his leader to the med bay.

"Come on, femme!" Starscream hissed. I snarled back at him and allowed him to lead me to my new cell. "We made sure that not even Soundwave can get through this. Have fun trying." He chuckled darkly as he uncuffed me and threw me into the cell. I landed on my side and was up in seconds, charging the door as it slammed shut.

"Fragger!" I howled as he vanished down the hall, chuckling the whole time. "I'm going to kill you…one of these days…" I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest. I paced around the cell, looking for something…anything…to help get me out. But to my shame, Starscream was right. Even Soundwave wouldn't be able to find a way out. "Frag…" I sighed. I moved towards the bed and sat down on it, leaning back on my hands and crossing my legs over each other at the knee. Might as well get comfortable, it was going to be a while before anyone decided to show up and "interview" me.

~Optimus Prime's POV~

I sat in the shuttle, letting my CPU fall into my hands. I could feel Prowl's angry glare, but I didn't bother glancing up to confirm what I already knew.

"You let her go."

"Yes, Prowl."

"Alone!" I sighed heavily. We've been having the same argument for the past hour and I was getting tired of it.

"Not alone, Prowl. Soundwave and Bee were with her."

"Soundwave is a fraggin Decepticon and Bee was out cold! You let her go, alone! Against your better judgment!"

"Prowl…please…" I begged my SIC. He was angry, I got that. But I couldn't seem to quell his anger at me.

"No! You have yet to convince me that this was a good idea! She's my daughter, for all intents and purposes! Jazz and I raised her!"

"Because Bumblebee was dying!" I snapped, my anger taking hold of me for a second too long. I had always prided myself on keeping my feelings in check, but I hadn't told Prowl that Bee had been dying and Silver risked her life to save his. "Silver went back to the Decepticon base to save Bee. Damn right you raised her, and you would do the exact same thing!" My CPU started to ache and I sat back into the chair, my hands on my helm. I heard Prowl growl before he let out a heavy, heavy sigh.

"You're right…I would have done the same thing…even if it meant putting Silver at risk. I just hate not knowing how she is doing…" I chuckled and glanced back up to Prowl.

"You should know, you did raise her after all. She's just as strong as you and Jazz combined. She got her strength from you." Prowl just leaned back into his seat and glanced over to Bluerose as she recharged peacefully in the seat next to me. I rested my hand on her shoulder and she rolled into my arm, curling into the warmth. I smiled and watched her recharge.

As I glanced back to Prowl, Blue sat up quickly and grabbed at my wrist with such strength it almost hurt.

"Go back…" she whispered.

"What?"

"GO BACK!" She screamed at me, her blank eyes suddenly full of emotion. I grabbed at her shoulders as she struggled to push past me to the flight controls.

"Blue! Calm down, what is it…?" I suddenly doubled at the waist as pain lanced though my spark. I grabbed at my chest and bit my lower lip in pain until energon leaked down my chin.

"PRIME!" Prowl grabbed at me as I started to slink off the chair. "What is it? OPTIMUS!"

"We're loosing her…"

~Silverstar's POV~

I fought, once again, against the wires attacked to my helm. Pulses of electricity traveled down the wires and entered my frame with increasing speed and strength, each one stronger than the first. But I rolled my hands into fists and bit back my screams again.

Soundwave came in, his expression blank, but his optics gave him away. I noticed, and so did Megatron. Megatron moved so quickly as he reached out and grabbed Soundwave by the throat. I struggled to sit up as Soundwave choked in pain.

"You stay where you are, Silver, or I will kill him." Megatron hissed, his arm transforming into his sword. The tip of the blade pressed into Soundwave's exposed throat and drew little droplets of energon.

"Don't! Please! Don't do it…"

"I'll make you a deal. Do as you're told and I won't kill Soundwave or Bumblebee…I'll even let them go, for you…"

"But?" I asked.

"But you stay here and let go of all your memories." I bit my lip and stared at the floor, knowing what I had to do.

"…fine…" I breathed. Megatron let go of Soundwave and turned to me, his faceplates soft.

"You'll be fine." He whispered, laying me back down on the berth. Tears raced down my cheeks as I closed my eyes and gave into the waves of electricity. This is what my life was being traded for. All those memories dear to me…I could keep them alive if those I created them with would remember.

"…Prime, Prowl, Jazz…I'm so sorry…" I whispered as my memories faded. One by one, I was becoming less the Silverstar, daughter of a Prime, and more Moonshade, the daughter of Megatron.

SILVER! NO! I heard his voice, chose to ignore it. It wasn't worth it anyways…I was saving two innocent sparks for mine. That was well worth the price.

…sorry, uncle… were my last words to him. Forgive me…

~A/N: Sorry this is so short, but well; let's see what happens, shall we? And this is so much fun to torture my readers! Not that I am getting any pleasure out of this, nope ^^~
